Yeah, asking someone to engage in behavior that carries addiction risk and is against their religion seems like a shaky ethical ground. (Not sure why the LSD church bans gambling, but seems additionally sketchy that gambling is somehow fine if it’s not your money?)
Wow, stunning 🤩
Between this and the recent coffee headline, I feel like someone is out to get you, specifically.
Owning a small business is weird. Apparently I don’t owe city taxes this year but still have to file the form and have to do it over the phone through an automated system? 🫠
Yes! It’s beyond frustrating that Seattle’s civilian response unit is beholden to police dispatchers due to the recently renegotiated SPD union contract.
Never ceases to amaze me what stories people think are and are not suitable for kids.
Instead of bringing back Firefly, how about a TV adaptation of 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' instead.
"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."
Rewatching The Expanse and once again questioning the media literacy of people who argued it wasn’t a dystopia.
🚨URGENT ACTION ALERT! 🚨
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is holding a hearing today to advance a frankenstein package of "kids safety" bills that are trojan horses for censorship and surveillance.

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it
we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes
Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement
I actually just read the first three of these for the first time. Of you remember they started being published in the 1970s, it helps explain some of the gender politics 🤣
I love that the humans look like they’re going to keel over while the dog is ready for round 2
That’s it! Yelp has photos of a hotdog inflatable not an ice cream cone, so either it changed or I am bad at recognizing long foodstuffs from a distance
”Tax avoidance by the super wealthy is an economic issue as well as a political one” is a take I’d expect from a high schooler, not a WSJ lede, tbh.
Ooh is that the little building with the ice cream cone out front?
This is also why most doctors have DNRs. Keeping you alive at any cost is rough.
I was walking on Shilshole marina this weekend and saw a seal! Just gliding through the water. A sea gull stole the seal’s fish snack.
Oh wow I have not thought about that book series in a long time.
I, for one, am a big fan of your socks, even before I knew their backstory.
I always thought the gluten free label was functional in addition to fad-y. Like the opposite of the “this food is processed in facilities that process nuts” kind of thing.
oop just saw the alt text 💀
The icon, the legend. Is that a Rupert blanket he’s sitting on?
There are some genuinely cool and useful medical applications of stuff people shorthand as “AI,” but yeah, not all of it is going to be a winner.
It’s so frustrating as a reader.
You know saying that most books and movies would be resolved in 10 minutes if the protagonist(s) went to therapy? 🤣 Most romance stories “keep the couple apart” to build tension, especially in series. Whether the author can do it in an entertaining way is a big part of my enjoyment.
New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake
this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart
1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks
2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections
99% of modern security products are just some company going "would you like this app that gamifies paranoia" and you going "yeag" like just don't do it. just turn it off
There are so many roundabouts in this city, how is it people still not know what to do?
